The RAI believe8 that pmmobng the knowledge and understanding of anthropology to the gener81 public and secondary and further education IFEI studen15 can contribute to the creation of globally well-infomied citizens. This is the aim of its Education Outreach programme and activity in this area 1$ led by the R￿,$ Education Committee and the RAI Education and Communications Offi¢er. The Education Committee coordinates the RAfs programme of educatton in anthropology at all lovel8, including pre-university education. In 2024 The Education Programme ran its annual evenl'London Anthropology Day, htt s.'Illondonanlhro 8 university taster day for Year 12, 13, FE students, careers advisers and teachers. wtth the aim to encour898- anthropology undergraduate applicants. Throughout the year. we continuéd to build on the serigs of online courses that we launchgd in 2023, with the aim of attracting interested persons to anthropology. wherevar they may be found. Our major conference for 2024 was entit￿ 'Anthropology 8nd Educ81ion', and look place in Senate House, University of London be￿een 25th-28th Jun8. In planning Ihis event, we were mindful of two points in particular.. the desire after Covid for colleagues to get together face to ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRSTAIN AND IRELAND face, and the importance nevertheless of discussing issues through virtual meetings. We therefore divided up OUT efforts. Before the confergnce took plaee. we organised virtual seminars with co-partners, for exampl8 on 'Precarity and the Teaching of Anlhropoltsgy.. These were fascinating 8venls, and we look fO￿ard to building on them. Then, for the main conferance. we met enlirgly face to face at Senate House, University of London. The key-note address was given by Lorna Williams. a most moving presentation on the phanomenon of forced boarding schools for indigenou$ people and the dam8g& that they can do. In total, we had 465 delegates from 45 different counlri8s. 42% from the UK and 58% from the rest of the world. There were 5 plenary sessions, 8 films. 6 roundtables, 3 workshops, 49 panels and 314 papers were given as part of the confgrence. We arg most grateful to our official collal)orators for thi8 event the IUAES Commission on Anthropology and Education: the EASA Teaching Anthropology Netsvork, the American Anthropological Association Council on Anthropology and Education, and tho Asso¢ialion of Social Anthropologists. The RAI website is available al This sbte gives full infonn8tion on all the RAI'S operations as well as ils structure and governanc8. The f811ows directory 18 availablo on the webstte providing a searchable database of our fellows and their inleresls. Publlc Bongfit Statemont Trustees ofa charity have a duty to report in their annual report on their charity's public benefit. The Trusloes of the RAI have considered th8 requirements which are explained on the Charity Commission website. The sections of this report above entitled "ObjectNes and activities. and 'Achi8vement8 and performance sel out Ihe RAI'S objectives and reports on the activty and successas in the year as well as explaining the plans for the current financial year. The RAI'S work benefit8 very wide range of scholarly organizalions and individuals aw)ss the Untted lQngdom. The TTUStees have considered this mattèr and concluded.. That the aims of tha organisation continue to be Charitab￿., That the aims and the work done give identifiable benefits to our members and the publ￿. That the b8nefits are for the public. are not unreasonabty restricted in any way and not by abilily lo pay,. and That there is no detn'menl or haryn arising from the aims or ￿ti¥ll18$. Slatement on Fundralslng Activits The charity is not engaged with fundraising from the publ Financial Revièw During 2024, the RAI continued to return io normal operats"on8. thosjgh the Konomic disruption associated with the war in the Ukraine, and the Middle East continue lo gNe couse for concern. The specific threats that we have previously touched upon remain, in particular the unpredictability of journal incorne and inflab'on. This impacts upon our abilty lo maintain staffing salary levels al the same time as meaning that we ar8 faced w(th increased bills. To this we shoukl note that much of our publishing income comes in US dollars. This means that in times of dollar strength, our income: in￿easeS. but this exposure al80 means that a future eakening dollar would mean that our sterling income decreases. ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTETUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND The diversification of our invgstmenls so 88 to include propety continues. At present, all the properties owned by th6 RAI are rented out. and provide a steady source of ineome. We conlinug to invest with fv40 ethical investmgnls platforms CCLA'S COIF Chartlies Ethical Investment Fund, and Sarasin's Endowments Funds. The value of the investrnents has now substantially recovered from the downturn of year5 ago. and we continue to hold our present positions, albeit under careful review. Durirsg 2024 a number of staff resigngd ft)Ilry•Ying a grTevance whKh was not upheld. This has resulted in an 8ppeal and further grievanw during 2025. along with signrficanl professional fe8s and the Teslgnalion of the president, some trustees arKI staff. The siiuation was reported lo the Charty Commission as a Serious Incident Report. Though the situation is challenging, the RAI continues to operate in budget surplu$ and has no debts. In the lighl of the uncertain financial situation the trustees beli8ve tt Prudent to build up reserves and endowments as much as possible. This policy is considered essential for the charity lo be able to improve current sefvices, programmes and publications. lo develop new ones and also lo continue its current activities in the event of a future 8ignrfKant drop in funding. The overall reserves of the charity have increased by £229.451 to £5,561,886 of which £1,748,559 is represented by the nel book value of fixed assets, £268,033 by other designated funds, £1,S14,715 18 in re81ricted funds and £2,030,S79 18 in unrestricted funds.The RAI'S reserves policy is to hold UnreStr￿ted re8eNe5 to cover threa months, operating expenditure, i.e. minirnum of £250,000. Investments are held in The COIF Ch8A7ties Ethical Investm8nt Fund held by CCLA Investment Management and the Sarasin Endowfnenl Fund m8naged by Sarasin and Partn8rs. The general aim 1$ lo enhance the value of both Capital and income on a long-lerm sustainable ba8ts and to uphold the princip￿ of investing in companies wf(h the h￿hest environment, sccial and governance (ESGI standards. Currentty, th8 funds produce an annual income of just under 30/0. Plans for the Future The RAI 1$ commilled lo provKling a wide-range of activities through ils committees and events that will serve to further the public education of anthropology. In part, r(s efforts for the future will be devoted to ensuring that this commitment will be sustainable in the bng-lerm. This will include the search for reliabl8 diversification of income. In th8 m&dium-long term, the RAI aims lo examine th8 possibility of acquiring new, larger pr8mis8S that will enable the Institute lo incraas8 furthar the numbers of 8v8nls that tt will hold, and also potentially explore close co- operation with other related learned societies in order to explore synergies in our aelivities that will lead tr) new ￿eatIVe and intellectual partnerships. The Covid19 pandemic has encouraged the expansion of virtual events. and a core part of our future planning involves the way8 that we can incorporate this new emphasis into our existing. pre- Covid strengths. Vve have concluded the pilot year of our Teaching and L8arning Platform, which is largely virtual. This has been successful. and we hope that it will prowde a major new activity Our major conference this year was on Anthropology and Education, with particular emphasis on the following Strands.. Anthropology in pre-university environments.. teaching anthropology in non-anlhropology departments.. Anthropology, A and Media., Ethics and R8presentalion', Education and Indigenous Boarding Schools- Translating Cultures., and Anthropobgy, Teaching ROYAL ANTHROPOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF GREAT BRITAIN AND IRELAND and Museums. discuss pattems of undergraduate rpxruitment wfth those dep8rhnents legching anthropology in the UK. Royal Chartor The transfer of the RA'¥ assets to the new chartered body, noted in Lgst yearfs report, is n¢)W subslanli8lly concludad. and we have taken receipt of the physical charter itself, delayed because of Covid. We will therefore proceed with the closure of the previous charitable company.
